Urdu grammar checked with the reason attached
Paste Urdu and every issue is underlined where it happens, labelled spelling, grammar, punctuation or style, with the reason attached. Urdu is written in the Arabic script, right to left, and gender agreement, نے with the past tense, the izafat, Nastaliq spelling are what a checker has to get right in it. This one shows the rule each time, not just the change, so you can accept the fix, ignore it, or learn from it.
How to check Urdu grammar
Three steps. The third is the one most checkers leave out.
1
Paste or upload the Urdu
Type, paste or drop in a document. Urdu is already selected as the language on this page. If the text turns out to be something else, the detector says so and you can change it.
2
Read the flags
Every flag is underlined in the text and listed beside it. Spelling and grammar flags are errors; punctuation and style flags are judgements, and the label tells you which is which before you decide.
3
Accept, ignore or read why
Click a flag to see the fix and the rule behind it, then accept it or ignore it. Urdu has rules that speech does not reveal, and the reason is there so the same error is not made twice.
What the checker looks at in Urdu
The parts of Urdu grammar and spelling where a checker has to know the language, not just the words.
AgreementNouns are masculine or feminine and adjectives in -ا agree (اچھا لڑکا, اچھی لڑکی); verbs agree with the subject, or with the object in the perfective when the subject takes نے. The oblique form before a postposition (لڑکے کو) is the same rule as Hindi and the same source of error.
VerbsVerbs end the sentence and stack aspect and tense (پڑھ رہا تھا, پڑھتا ہے). The honorific آپ takes the plural verb (آپ جائیے), and the Persian-derived vocabulary of formal Urdu comes with its own plurals (کتب alongside کتابیں).
Spelling and diacriticsShort vowels are not written; the checker does not require them. What it checks is the choice of letters: the two forms of yeh (ی in the middle, ے at the end for the e sound), the two forms of heh (ہ, ھ for aspiration), and the Persian and Arabic letters (ث, ص, ض, ط, ظ, ع, غ, ق) that sound alike in Urdu but are fixed by the word.
PunctuationThe Urdu full stop is a short horizontal stroke (۔), the comma and question mark are the Arabic forms (، ؟), and the text runs right to left. Quotation marks are usually the Latin “ ”.
Capital lettersNo capital letters. Names and titles are carried by context and by honorifics (صاحب, صاحبہ, جی).
Common mistakes in Urdu writing
Five errors Urdu readers notice at once, and what the checker does with each.
ی or ے at the end of a word
لڑکے (boys, oblique) ends in the bari ye ے; کوئی ends in ی. The two letters are the same sound family and different words.
ہ or ھ
The do-chashmi ھ marks aspiration and only follows a consonant (بھی, کھانا); the round ہ is a consonant in its own right (ہم, وہ). Swapping them changes the word or makes none.
Arabic letters that sound alike
صحیح, ضرور, طالب, ظاہر: ث, س, ص and ت, ط and ز, ذ, ض, ظ sound the same in Urdu, and the spelling follows the word’s origin.
نے and object agreement
اس نے کتاب پڑھی, میں نے خط لکھا: with نے the verb agrees with the object. میں نے کتاب پڑھا is wrong.
The izafat
وزیرِ اعظم, شعبۂ اردو: the Persian linking vowel is marked with a zer or a hamza on heh in formal Urdu, and dropped only in the most casual writing.
Formal and informal Urdu
تو, تم and آپ, each with its own verb forms; آپ is the written default for strangers, customers and elders, and formal Urdu adds honorific verb forms (تشریف لائیے, فرمائیے). تم to an unknown reader reads as impolite.
The checker flags a mixed register as style rather than as an error, so the decision stays yours. If a whole text needs to move from one register to the other, the tone changer rewrites it in one pass.

Urdu grammar checker FAQs
Is the Urdu grammar checker free?
Yes. Check Urdu without an account, within the per-check and daily word allowances shown beside the editor. Signing in raises them, and Pro removes the guest limits and the ads. The pricing page lists what each plan includes.
Which Urdu does it check?
Standard written Urdu, spelled as the current standard has it. The everyday errors are ی against ے at the end of a word, ہ against ھ, the Arabic sound-alike letters (صحیح, not سہی), the izafat marked with a zer or a hamza in Persian phrases (وزیرِ اعظم), and words joined or split by a space where Urdu convention differs from Hindi. Urdu is preselected on this page; the language menu above the editor changes it if the text turns out to be something else.
Does it correct Urdu spelling as well as grammar?
Yes, and in Urdu the two overlap. The everyday errors are ی against ے at the end of a word, ہ against ھ, the Arabic sound-alike letters (صحیح, not سہی), the izafat marked with a zer or a hamza in Persian phrases (وزیرِ اعظم), and words joined or split by a space where Urdu convention differs from Hindi. Each of these is underlined where it happens, labelled spelling or grammar, with the standard form and the rule beside it.
Will it rewrite my Urdu?
Not unless you ask it to. A check corrects what is wrong and leaves your sentences as you wrote them; every change is a separate flag you accept or ignore. The Improve and Rewrite passes, which do change wording, are separate buttons, and the paraphraser is a separate tool.
Can I check a whole Urdu document?
Yes. Paste the text or drop in a .docx, .pdf or .txt file; the document is checked paragraph by paragraph and the corrected version can be copied or exported. Urdu runs right to left and the editor lays it out that way. Long documents are checked within the per-check allowance and continue as you scroll.
Is it useful if I am learning Urdu?
That is where the reason attached to each flag earns its keep. Nouns are masculine or feminine and adjectives in -ا agree (اچھا لڑکا, اچھی لڑکی); verbs agree with the subject, or with the object in the perfective when the subject takes نے. A learner sees which rule was broken, not just the corrected word, and can accept the fix or read why it was raised before deciding.
After the check
Translate the corrected Urdu, change its tone, or shorten it. One plan covers every tool.
Each page opens the checker with that language already selected and explains what it looks for in it. The picker above the editor covers more than seventy languages in all.
